What is National Reconciliation Week?

Every year, National Reconciliation Week is celebrated from the 27th May to the 3rd  June. It is a time dedicated to building positive, respectful relationships between Australians and celebrating indigenous culture. The overarching aim of this period is to explore how we can best contribute to the reconciliation process.

Every year there is a theme attributed to National Reconciliation Week, which reinforces the idea that we all have a part to play. The theme for 2021 ‘More than a word’ is a tribute to that. Reconciliation takes action, so this year’s theme is all about taking action.

Every year workplaces, schools, early learning services, community groups, reconciliation groups, and people right across the country host a whole range of events.

Reconciliation must live in the hearts, minds and actions of all Australians as we move forward, creating a nation strengthened by respectful relationships between the wider Australian Community, and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.
